Chapter 955
Adina heard Duke‘s gentle voice.
She squinted and opened her eyes. She said blearily, “Duke, I‘m hungry.” Duke chuckled, “Go back and sleep for a little while more. I‘ll cook for you. It‘ll take around thirty minutes.”
She closed her eyes and nodded. “Thirty minutes is more than enough for me.‘
She had a light sleep. Her frontal cortex was active, and she started to dream. She was walking in a blurry valley. There were mountains and trees everywhere, and she did not know where to go. She would stumble at every step she took because her legs felt so weak. She knew that she was dreaming, and was desperately trying to get out of there. She finally got up and walked across the swamp. Finally, the path became smoother. She tried to open her eyes again but failed.
Suddenly, something flew past her.
It was bats. She picked up something and swung it in the air aimlessly. The bats kept flying toward her, and she kept dodging them. A door suddenly emerged in front of her. She opened it and ran out.
The landscape changed.
The bats disappeared, and a wolf emerged. It was walking on the mountain path.
The wolf‘s green eyes stared at her fiercely, as if it would pound on her at any second.
It was a wild animal. If it sensed any hint of fear, she would become its meal.
By that moment, Adina had long forgotten that it was only a dream.
She walked forward with a knife in her hand. She raised it and slashed downward.
